About the product

Through a multi-stakeholder process facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and as a contribution to the World Summit on Sustainable Development, 22 industry sectors have developed global sustainability reports. It is the first time that business and industry have formed a partnership with the United Nations in consultation with labour and non-governmental organizations to report on sector-specific progress in implementing Agenda 21 on a global scale. This publication provides an overview of the industry achievements and unfinished business in implementing Agenda 21. It also identifies key gaps and stakeholder concerns, summarizes industry-specific challenges, goals and commitments, and provides recommendations on the way forward.
